Chapter 4 Flashcards
When two or more different atoms combine with one another to form a new substance, it is called a ______.
compound
_________ are the attractive forces that cause atoms to “stick” together - nature’s velcro.
Chemical bonds
________ are the electrons in the outer most shell of an atom.
Valence electrons
Valence electrons are the electron in the __________ of an atom.
outer most shell
There are two different defined models of chemical bonds which are characterized based upon hot the valence electrons of the atom interact. These 2 models of chemical bonding are called __________ and __________.
ionic bonds and covalent bonds
The ________ is a key concept in modern chemistry developed by Gilbert Lewis.
octet rule
When two different atoms or ions have the same electron configuration, they are said to be __________ with each other.
isoelectronic
________ results from the TRANSFER of electrons from one atom or group of atoms to another.
Ionic bonds
An _______ is an atom that carries a formal charge based upon an imbalance between the number of protons in the nucleus and the total number of electrons.
ion
________ are formed when an atom of group of atoms gives up or donates one or more electrons.
Cations (+)
Cations are _______ charged ions.
positively
_______ are formed when an atom or group of atoms accepts one or more electrons.
Anions (-)

Transition
In order to predict the formula for an ionic compound formed by the interaction of a transition metal with a nonmetal, we must know what?
The charge o the transition metal
_________ are formed when two different elements chemically combine regardless of the number of atoms or ions present.
